Hi GG and listers.
Whilst I simply cannot condone what Trump is doing on social media I’m just
curious who has the moral responsibility to censor some of the more
inflammatory utterances?
Does #BigTech have any moral authority to censure us? Do Third-Party
Platforms have the right to do this? Does the government? Why not extend
this to the mad man in the village spewing conspiracy theories and telling
the village headmen that contrary to all comments about his clothes, he’s
actually walking naked.
The world has ignored Net Neutrality to its own detriment. Time to revisit
this conversation?
